I have seen some that are of the normal type, as I was considering getting one for my 35-100mm, as the Olympus one is getting fairly loose. I did a quick check, but couldn't spot the ones I saw earlier. Also, The adapter has a same sized screw thread, so that filters screw into that.

I too have the same problem with my 35-100mm, I originally thought it was the hood wearing out and bought a new one however on closer inspection it was actually the bayonet is wearing out. What I've done as a temporary measure is built up a layer of nail polish to remake the small nubs that the hood catches on(they wear down after a few thousand uses) and put a very thin layer of liquid electrical tape on the hood itself to increase friction.

Between both the hood on mine is much improved however I have been thinking about sending it in to Olympus and having the bayonet replaced all the same.
